Children's Fashion Janie and Jack

While on our Fall Break at the Four Seasons in Scottsdale, we got dressed up and headed out to dinner one night at Proof Canteen restaurant.  I love dressing my kids in clothing I love, that is also good quality that I know will last.  My kids can be rough on their clothing with how active they are, so quality kids clothing has always been important to me.  I have always loved Janie and Jack clothing for my children, and I’m excited to partner with them on this post!  They always have the cutest selection, and most importantly, it is such good quality!Children's Fashion Janie and JackBoys Clothing and Fashion Janie and Jack

We had a little time before dinner, and the kids just looked so darling that I had to snap a few photos of them.  Thomas was obviously thrilled, whenever I take out the camera, he is the first to protest.  No time to pause when you can party! Ha!  (Read more for full outfit details!)

We were excited to get our latest Mo Mail package in the mail, and partner with Disney Hyperion again this month!  Nanette’s Baguette is an adorable new book for kids by award winning author Mo Willems!  My little Thomas is at that stage where he is just learning to read, and he is loving reading books!

Nanette’s Baguette is a hilarious rhyming picture book that follows Nanette on her first big trip to the bakery.  But, will she actually return with the bread?  I guess you will have to read to find out!  I also love that it rhymes!  I feel like that really helps with my kids literacy!

Family Internet Safety Tips // Sophos Home

Parental Controls for your Computer

Parental Controls for your Computer

Sophos provided me with compensation in exchange for this sponsored blog post, however all opinions expressed here are my own.

When it comes to protecting my family, like most parents, I take that job very seriously.  For a while now it has been weighing on my mind that I haven’t been taking the proper precautions to keep my family safe during their time using the Internet.  Now that my kids are in Elementary school, they are required to use our home computer a lot more often than before. And, while I have always heavily monitored their time behind any kind of screen, I still wasn’t taking all the steps I needed to in order to keep them safe online.

It is not that I didn’t care about their online safety.   I was just unsure about the best way to do it, which software I could trust, or which one was the best.  It really was something that was keeping me up at night.  I would never leave my kids home without supervision where I knew danger was lurking, so why was I giving them access to our computer with a whole world of scary things that they could access to at their fingertips?!  Much like we take the proper precautions to send our kids off to ride their bicycles with a helmet, it is also important to take the appropriate steps to keep our families safe on the Internet.  I know I would feel horrible if they ran into something inappropriate or dangerous due to my neglect to put in place the proper procautions.
